Im about 10 minutes from benton harbor... are you looking for a hotel or what?

if your going budget there is a motel 6 next to home depot right off I 94 pipestone exit... same exit there is a nicer place.. but not great.

if you wanna stay in class go to safari joes in watervliet, exit 41 (bout 12 miles east) its a holiday inn but the owner (joe arent) is a hunter / zillionare so there are mounts of every animal known to man in the lobby, plus 2 bars and a small waterpark

watervliet is a nice quiet safe town, about 10-15 mintes from benton harbor, and dawagiac. Id give safari joe's ramada inn a call and find out their rates.

n June 2003, a small minority of the residents in Benton Harbor rioted for two days when black motorcyclist Terrance Shurn, being chased by a mixed-race police officer, crashed into a building and died. Five[4] homes were set on fire, and about 300 state troopers and law enforcement personnel from neighboring communities came to Benton Harbor to stabilize the situation.[4] Many saw the riots as a sign of frustration from the mostly black youth population.[3][5][6][7]

I would recommend the Holiday Inn Express on Lakeshore Dr. south of St Joe. Great place, great views of Lake Michigan, and Cozumel is next door (good Mex joint). A little pricey, but not bad being off season. Best of all, no ninjas for miles!
